Spare a thought for us who don't work in IT though, we're still feeling the pinch. My company is laying off an entire 10% of the employee base over the next few months.
And frankly, we don't really have any dealing with the IT department, outside of them wanting to order this, upgrade that. And them occasionally coming up to fix something.
Komodo dragons actually use this to their advantage. Biting prey, waiting for the wound to become septic, then the prey dies, and they have a nice dinner.

Some of us are on older computers, thank you very much. We like slim, streamlined operations.
I guarantee that a good percent of those are the partners of the account owner. Poking around online in their account for whatever reason or another, like keeping tab of their exes.

I still say it depends on the industry.
And of course, what exactly your job actually entails.
Obvious, maybe, but somewhere around the 15-30% mark is about right as an average.
I don't profess to being a pro at all. I don't work in IT, I know nothing about any sort programming, I can't even do basic HTML without a guide.
But I can still recognise a pop up and know they're irritating.

And don't forget those children [and adults too, come to think of it] who have difficulty distinguising right from wrong, fantasy from reality.
Instead of Easy/Normal/Hard, there should be more amusing titles for them.
For example, the system in Wolfenstein 3D. And I'm sure there are other examples too, outside of id developed games.

Not the closest relationship.
Rose tinted glasses, my good fellow.
Nostalgia has this way of making anything in the past seem wonderful.
Now if you'll excuse me, it's time for some Pacman on the Atari.
What would you expect if you admitted you're a drunken dope user on Facebook? An award for honesty?
And the logic of posting photos of yourself in compromising situations online: There is none.
If anything, fear evolved to help mankind survive.
For example, fear of snakes or spiders due to their venom. Natural enough, right?
But go overboard, or be irrational, and you've got yourself a phobia.
Yes, that's a good book.
The Ultimate History of Video Games [Steve Hunt] is also a very worthy read. The focus isn't on Nintendo, but still worthwhile.

Remember those robot gunships in the Terminator movies? Yes, the they shot lasers and what not. Those things had humble beginnings.
As long as it doesn't zoom into my bedroom, I'm all for it.
If you play any MMO for 60 hours a week, heck, the game is your job!!
He was shot, and shot by police [for an unspecified reason].
But this still doesn't automatically mean he was "eliminated" for his views on the Russian government.
6. Include plenty of cheats for the casual gamer not to lose interest. And also for lazy folks.
The game is the art.
But the gamer isn't the artist.
I don't see what's wrong with a niche social networking site.
Besides the fact that it'll be niche, perhaps?
I'm pretty sure that Nigerian scams [and its variants] existed before 1992.
The internet just made it a lot more visible.
The most politically incorrect game of all time, perhaps?

Frankly, without someone to poke me with a sharp stick now and then, I wouldn't get much done.
I want to telecommute now.
Nah, reality is different. As they always say, half of all marriages eventually end in divorce.
Still like those odds?
Call it the Butterfly effect [and yes, that so-so movie was similar to this]. Small changes in the past lead to exponential changes.
Still, it's just theory. And virtual worlds are still nothing like reality.
